Demonstrate your results for equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons and octagons (as a minimum). Diagrams should be drawn accurately by hand where possible.
Do you think that a regular heptagon would tessellate?
Are there properties of these shapes which determine whether they tessellate or not?
Research some of the following and present examples:
Daisy Designs Tumbling Block Designs Tessellations with other non regular geometric shapes, for example a triangle Tessellations using translations Tessellations using rotations Tessellations using reflections Tessellations using capital letters Semi regular tessellations Mauritis Cornelis Escher Tessellations in 3-d (in nature) Tangrams Wall Paper patterns Maori symbols that tessellate Kow haiw hai Tukutuku patterns Taniko
Investigate which regular polygons tessellate.
